The Safety of Lasers

The Safety of Lasers

The only physical risk in laser therapy is the risk of eye damage.
While never reported to have occurred, suitable protective eye wear is
worn by the patient and operator during laser procedures. Sometimes the
treated area will become red, feel warm, or temporarily ache. These
reactions are a result of increased microcirculation and removal of
waste products.

The energy of therapeutic lasers is non-ionizing, which means there is no risk of cancerous changes in treated areas.
